NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwired) — 07/23/13 — MetTel, a leading provider of telecommunications services and network solutions for enterprise and government customers, today named Ken Rudnick director of information technology.
An experienced leader of business-transforming IT projects, Rudnick will be responsible for the management, strategy and execution of MetTel-s IT infrastructure and processes, including applications design, hosting and support. In addition, Rudnick will play a leading role in designing the company-s new business continuity center in Texas, which will add geographic diversity and redundancy to MetTel data centers in New York, Utah and Rhode Island. He will be based in MetTel-s New York City headquarters.
“IT is central to the success of any organization and that-s especially true here at MetTel, where we build software solutions for both internal and external clients,” said Will Prince, MetTel executive director of operations. “Ken brings deep technical skills and the ability to understand business needs and match technology to meet those needs. His focus, knowledge and experience will help us prepare for the growth ahead.”
Rudnick has more than 18 years experience leading and managing successful technical teams. Most recently, he served as vice president of Global Technical Solutions for Ipsos, a global market research firm in Westbury, NY, where he managed a global infrastructure spread across more than 60 countries. He began his IT career in 1994 as an operator with Festo Corporation, an industry leader in pneumatic manufacturing, and rose through the ranks to lead a team that provided network, server, helpdesk and procurement support for North and South America.
Rudnick is one of a number of key executives recently recruited by MetTel to build its leadership team and leverage its technology platform and customer service expertise to expand into new areas. The company, which has grown organically at an annual rate of 15 percent over the past three years, plans to accelerate that growth through mergers and acquisitions in the years ahead.
MetTel combines the security of North America-s most trusted carriers with the convenience of using one provider with a single point of contact in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. The company-s proprietary, cloud-based MetOne Portal enables clients to manage services and expenditures, and monitor the performance of their customized networks from one simple, user-friendly interface.
“Recent storms in the Northeast have underscored the importance of building and diversifying a corporate IT infrastructure that can handle anything nature brings our way,” Rudnick said. “MetTel is investing in infrastructure and is poised for a new wave of growth. I-m excited to help enhance the secure and scalable systems and processes that will support that growth.”
